Victor is not talking #142

Closed bsaund closed 3 years ago

bsaund commented 3 years ago

Currently the dual_arm_bridge.launch fails when run with talkative=true. 1) The node is failing to start on victor backpack 2) Victor backpack does not have speakers currently

Proposed solution:

Remove Victor Backpack from the picture, run the talkative node directly on realtime
Separately, We might as well update Victor Backpack to 20.04.

Solved by the following: 1) Victor Backpack was on 20.04, but still trying to source kinetic. Updated bashrc 2) Pushed an update to amazon_ros_speech for python3 3) Victor Backpack was not audibly playing any sound. I connected a monitor, logged in, and that seemed to fix the problem. Currently you have to log in to the computer to allow pulseaudio to work.
